- A supply curve of work hours can be backward-bending beyond some wage rate. Examples of backward-bending labor supply curves exist in academics and professional athletics. Once university (or college) professors attain tenure, their productivity (in some cases) tends to decline. The diminished productivity appears to reflect fewer hours being devoted to research. Michael Jordan (who was making over $40 million per year in salary and endorsements) quit professional basketball in 1993 to spend more time with his family, play golf, and try out for a major league baseball team. Under what circumstances will a labor supply curve bend backwards? Show this result in a labor-leisure choice diagram. Is leisure normal, inferior, or neither when the labor supply curve bends backward as the wage rate rises? Please identify the income and substitution effects of a reduction in work hours at higher pay.arrow_forwardExplain your answer comprehensively about the question stated below: Suppose Congress were to mandate that all employers had to offer their employees a life insurance policy worth at least $50,000.
